@beckymollenkamp.bsky.social's note to the Rest Rebels at the end of this episode:
"You are enough. No proving required. The system is broken. You are not the problem."
That's it. That's the post.
🎧 Episode 08: Business Advice Is Burning You Out. There's Another Way. bit.ly/4egv6A
One of the simplest burnout tips for entrepreneurs I've ever heard:
Stop asking "am I doing enough?" Start asking "what IS enough — for me, actually?"
Those are very different questions, sparked by my convo w/ @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social

@beckymollenkamp.bsky.social dropped a concept in our conversation that I can't stop thinking about: the Hedonic Treadmill.
The finish line that keeps moving. The number that was supposed to feel like safety — and didn't.
There is no ENOUGH in capitalism.

What if the business advice burning you out was never designed for the kind of business you actually want to build?
New episode of Just Rest with @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social is up and I'm still thinking about this one.

If you're ready to quiet the guilty voice telling you you're not doing enough and actually build a sustainable rhythm — I offer group and individual coaching.
DM me. Let's find your version of good enough.

Here's the thing: exhaustion is not proof of effort. It's just exhaustion.
You do not need to feel wrecked to have done enough. Pacing yourself IS the work. Feeling okay at the end of a hard week is the whole point.

She'd planned ahead. Paced herself. Took breaks. Got the important things done.
By any real measure — she had a good week. A sustainable week.
But the voice said: "shouldn't you feel more wrecked?"
#RestFirst #HustleCulture
Feeling like you need to be totally exhausted (emphasis on these two words) to prove that you've done enough has a name: Grind Culture.
A client finished a genuinely busy week — and told me she still felt pretty good. Not drained. Not exhausted. Just... okay.
She's done her work, but there was still guilt: Had she really done enough?
That guilt is grind culture. And we need to talk about it. 🧵

Nicole laying on her back, shoulders propped by a rolled blanket in a restful heart-opening yoga pose. Ahhhhhh ....
✨ I'm having a blast! ✨
I am putting the finishing touches on a 30-hour Renewal Retreat for clergy in the Florida Conference UCC that I'm leading next week.
Who wants me to do this for your group next?

I really need to see people earnestly doing the right thing when I can’t stop binging a season of Call the Midwife.
Thank God for the nurses and nuns doing community medicine to give me hope.

Doing my annual Lenten rewatch of Chocolate (2000).
I love this movie about community, change and redeption more and more each time I watch it.

"How we do the work IS the work."
Elaina Ramsey was talking about reproductive justice — but it applies to every values-driven organization. If you say people's wellbeing matters and your internal culture doesn't reflect that, you're not living your values.

The permission you give so freely to others — to rest, to grieve, to just be human — is also an invitation you can extend to yourself.
That's it. That's the whole thing.

Enjoy the bubbling of these veggie cabbage rolls I've made. A few years ago, I finally found a recipe for the vegetarian version that worked. I've never looked back.
I feel like it's a good day if you stumped an AI chatbot.

Post 3 of 3 Five years later, @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social wrote the book I wish I'd had from day one.
Liberate Your Business is a deprogramming manual for anyone who's done everything "right" and still felt wrong.
I've preordered mine. Release April 30. 💛 bit.ly/3NEMm7

@beckymollenkamp.bsky.social made me feel safe and seen — and then she did something harder: she helped me let go of every "should" I carried about how my business was supposed to look. I never looked back.

A bold orange cover for a bold book about Liberating your Business by Beckly Mollenkamp.
A year into my business I was lonely and ready to quit. Then I found @beckymollenkamp.bsky.social on a webinar. Something about how she talked made me stay. I joined her list.
On one of my lowest days, she invited me to a simple group coaching call. Just come. So I went. 🧵

After a coching session today, a client said,
“We really rummaged through the junk drawer of my brain … and I found some things!"
That about sums it up. … I listen to your rummaging, help you make meaning and plan your next step forward.
I freakin’ love coaching and a good metaphor!
#CoachLife
Also we talked about rest as liberation. Not a reward. Not a productivity hack.
If that hits, this convo is for you.

Here’s the truth:
You’re probably not failing.
You’re carrying too much.
I talked with Stephanie Graham LIVE on Lumen Radio about planning your life around your values instead of your to-do list — and why that matters even more for creative and neurodivergent folks.
I was on Chicago radio talking about rest (yes, really) 💜
Joined Stephanie Graham on noseyAF and we got into burnout, hustle culture, and why so many of us feel like we’re failing.
On this St. Patrick's Day, I'm grateful for my Irish ancestor's resilience and tenacity and ability to take simple incredients like potatoes, cabbage and butter and invent something as delicious as potatoes colcannon.
I was deligted to "meet" @mikesimmonsil.bsky.social through the Queer News podcast with Anna DeShawn tonight. I'm so inspired by you and truly wish I lived in your district so I could vote for you. Sending all the good vibes from Urbana, IL on primary election night.
How is it that it's only 9:48 a.m. and I already feel like I'm behind?
Oh, right. Toxic capitalism.
